What do you suggest? I was planning to get away from "slim" as I think it is getting more unstable; I just need a simple system to start X, log-in over ssh and use x2go session. I removed startx from .bash_profile and put in: ~/.xinitrc "exec startxfce4" and I was under impression that xfce4 will start automatically when I log-in but instead I get a user command prompt and have to type: startxfce4 But now ssh login works and x2go-session works as well. So why isn't startxfce4 starts automatically, what am I missing?
